This White Paper fully establishes the fascist nature of that ices to the Axis enemy, is aggresive militarist plans and its dangerous penetration into other American re- publics. This document has never ‘been made public. “The original plan of presenting the facts to the Conference on Probe Jems of War and Peace, held in Mexico Gity, was never carried out, fand the document was suppressed in order that the way might be paved for Argentina's admission to UNCIO. We urge that you now make this document availabie to the press and public of the world, to- {gether with whatever additional data khas becn compiled.” So far, this document has not been made available to the press and the public of the world. If it had been made available, it would prob- ably have contained among other things an account of the follose faess. Despite the pledges by the regin: of the Argentine Colonel? Leds: (GOU) to cooperate with the United Nations, Argentina is tec ing with unmolested Nazi war cri nats ‘Among them is Count Karl von Luxburg, chief of Nazi intelligence in Argentina and a close associate of Germany's recent self-styled Fuch- rer, Admiral Karl Doenitz. Another is Richard Schroeder, one of the chiof amistante of German Labor Front Jeader Robert Ley. Count von Luxburg, Germany's Ambassador to Argentina during the first World War, was expelled from the country in 1916 for organizingALP of Allied ships. ‘The Count reh.aed to Argentina to be= come chief of German Intelligence He has maintained a_ clandestine broadcasting station on his “Quinta © Martinez’ estate.” From a build ing near the Retiro railway station, e arganized a system of signaling to smihenarines with lagx and lighte ‘Von Luxburg’s activities resulted in the loss of Allied lives and the sinking of innumerable Allied ships, and Allied claims for his delivery t them would be fully justified. As the key Nazi in Argentina, he might cast ight on the Nazi network in this contipent. ‘Voi Luxburg is ako said to have cooperated with Fritz Mandl, former ‘Austrian munitions magnate, and to Ihave put him in contact with the Argentine goncrals. He is also re- ported to have helped finance the GOU coup d'etat in Junc, 1943, and to have personally advised Victor Paz Estensoro, leader of the coup in Bolivia in December, 1943. Schroeder, chief of the German Labor Front in Argentina in 1937 and 1938, went back to Germany to work with Ley. On his reported re- tum to Argentina, he ig said to have left for the interior of the country and is now believed to be in Cale amuchita in Cordol town and La Falda important centers of clandestine Nazi cells ‘Admiral Karl Doenite, hit so called Foreign Minister Count Lutz Schwerin von Krosigk and Ley have diposited @ ¥ ohle sums. &t twoney in Argefia ower a period of ‘ime through the “Banco Aleman Tramsatlintivo” (German Transat lantic Bank), report names.

The vast territories of the provinces of Entre Rios, Chaco and Misiones are said ideal for harboring sought-for Nazis and to be, actually, the head- quarters of clandestine Nazi organ The Nazis in Misiones are re ported to be maintaining contacts in Brazil and Paraguay and to control a system of roadways known only to them.

Pages 1 and 2 of the Marriage papers (the most questionable), the last (signa- ture) pages of the "Private Will" and the "Political Testanent" were the only ones completely renoved. One, or two of the covers of other pages were lifted to gain access to the paper, but otherwise the mountings were not disturbed. ‘It was found that rubber cement was used at the top and corners to fasten the original papers to the cardboard. Jn replacing those renoved no additional adhesive was added and at no time was anything placed on the papers (in the nature of a test reagent, solvent, adhesive or any other Laboratory material such as might be applied in an examination). For permanent retention and display, it is assuned that each page will be properly prepared, the Japanese silk or pressure cellulose methods of mounting being employed. ‘The latter of these is the method used by Archives which has the necessary machinery and trained technicians. The Japanese silk method 4s used by GPO special binders (there are only a few in the U. Ss S properly skilled) at the Library of Congress. : The Bureau may wish to suggest such to the MIS.
